True, one of the neighbors kids is just doing that sort of thing
now, in the most spectacular fashion, AVO, the full catastrophe.

I cant help feeling humans must have evolved like that, it basically
provides the drive to get them moving away from the parents etc. Corse that
doesnt work too well the way we have society structured. In earlier times
the more affected ones would just run away to sea, go off and fight in some
war or something to give their hormones something to work themselves out on.

Yeah, amazing how very obvious stuff like that just gets ignored.
Its a bit like how they think they are immortal at that age, not
that different to the stuff about knowing it all. Thats why society
has always used people of that age in wars, they really do think
they are immortal. They usually do eventually notice that they aint.
